Can ally with Imran for country’s betterment: Raja

LAHORE: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) will have no objections if it has to ally with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) for national betterment, said PPP leader Raja Pervez Ashraf on Saturday. According to Geo News report, the former premier made the comments after appearing before an accountability court hearing a graft case against him.

Ashraf said accusing state institutions is akin to weakening the state, adding that the PPP, under any circumstances, did not attack the Supreme Court. "Our wish is to see that the next general elections are held on time," said the PPP leader. He claimed that the PPP would not be affected by anyone's "in or out". He was likely referring to Friday's disqualification of PTI Secretary General Jehangir Tareen. The former PM also criticised the ruling party, saying that he cannot even see the government let alone see the functioning of the government.
